HOW 70 KNOW THE SOUTH.

The Northern people are getting a
much better understanding of the
Southern people from letters written
by Northern men and women, who
are living in different parts of the
South, to their friends at home than
they get from the talk of their politi-
clans. The Boston Herald, day or
two ago, published an extract from
one of these letters. 1t was written
by lady who is a member of one of
the abolitionist families of Massachu-
etts, and who is now teaching in the
South. She is said by the Herald
to be lady of high culture and rare
refinement. The lady is living in
an inland Southern town. Her let
ter was private one to a person in
Boston, and if she set it in print she
doubtless will be greatly surprised.
The following is an extract:
Zone cannot know the South by
any rapid tour through it; one must
live in It's houses and hear what the
people think and teel, and under
stand why they think and feel as
they do. The South is happier than
the North people here are less rest
less; less goaded by competition and
envy, and there is a purer democra-
cy, fewer social lines founded upon
merely external advantages. The
spirit of brotherly love is more OBJ
vious here, and much is real love be-
tween themselves. | do not even ex-
empt the colored man, for | believe
he gets as much sympathy here as
he does at the North"
Expressions of this sort, which are
genuine and true, tend to bring
closer together the Northern and
Southern people, and to nuetralize
the bitterness excited by TRADES like
those of Massachusetts senior Sena-
tor when he thinks he has got hold
OF something which he can exhibit
to the country as a fresh Southern
political outrage. Say. News.

COLORED PEOPLE.

There is one fundamental fact
which our eolored friends must learn
sooner or later, and the sooner the
better, namely: That if the negroes
succeed at all it must be, not as a
race, but as individuals. The ne
groes must take the elements of sue
cess as they find them, and as other
people find them. When foreigners
come to this country and succeed,
their success depends, not on their
race, but on their individual charac-
teristics. The negroes must take
conditions Of success as they find
them and as other people have found
them. If they cannot succeed by
means of these, then they must tail,
as great many white people have
failed. atlanta Constitution.
The colored people in Cobb coun-
ty who are worth anything have sue
ceeded by individual effort and in
dustry. They have recognized TIE
fact that every man is the architect
of his own fortune" financially or
morally. The race" is won by the
swift, and not by nationality. The
law gives him his legal rights, but
social privileges are not regulated by
law but by choice. But we have yet
to see the colored man who conducts
himself decently and courteously but
what is respected by white people, and
gets along much better than the one
who makes himself obnoxious. The
Southern white people and the ne
groes understand each other and
will continue TO get along on friend
ly terms, because it is to their inter
est to do so. Only designing and
wicked men can disturb these AMIGA
BILE relations. Incendiaries are dan
gerous in any community, but you
will find no anarchists among the
Southern negroes as you will find
among the white foreigners in Chica-
go and New York. They know the
worth of good government, because
it was the government that made
them citizens, and gives them equal
protection with every other citizen.
As race they are improving and
owning homes of their own, which
weds them to love of country, peace
and industry. His destiny is in his
own hands. He makes or mars him.
self in common with other people
and there should be no special legis-
lation in behalf Of any race.

A GENTLEMANLY RASCAL.

Griffin, Ca, is now stirred up over
the mysterious disappearance OF one
Of her citizens. In February 1886
stranger came to that town and
registered as Ii. 0. Wood, Boston.
He spent money lavishly, bought
fine equipage, made a fourth OF
July speech, so ingratiated himself
in to the good graces of the ladies
that he became the lion of society,
and all the girls were setting their
caps for him. He seems to have
captured the men equally as we'll.
, lie was elected Captain of the Spald
ing Greys. In the meantime he laid
siege to the heart Of one of the pref
test and wealthiest girls in Griffin.
Last August they were married and
went on bridal tour to Europe.
His wife received bridal present of
400 acres of land, worth $40 per
acre. While spending day in At
lanta he mortgaged the land for
81 ,250.00 When the deed went
back to Griffin to be recorded, the
Grifinites began to open their eyes
and wonder why should this brilliant
gentleman worth his thousands of
dollars mortgage his wife's property.
He returned from his bridal tour
and received the cold shoulder,
but he soon won the confidence of
the people again, and put on foot the
starting of National Bank, but Of
fered to buy out the home bank and
wanted to pay $4,000 down and give
his note for $4,000 but the Banker
declined. He borrowed $4,000, got
lady's note for $4,000 to deposit
which he traded, all of which he was
living on In grand style. He con-
tinued his preparations for his bank
and went to two of those who were
to be officers of the bank and got
$4,000 from each, borrowed 5000
from another gentleman, forged his
father-in-law's name to a note for
S4, 100000 and got it cashed at the
Gate City National Bank, Atlanta,
and then went on to Cincinnati to
buy a safe for his new bank. He has
never returned, and his rascality as
enumerated has just come to light,
having imposed on and robbed the
people of Griffin, ruined a noble
woman and blasted happy home.
The swindling adventurer has gone
to other pastures green.
Just so with society. All cheeky
rascal has to do is to come into a
community and make a grand dis
play, scatter money lavishly, though
stolen, and every light headed girl in
town adores him and society throws
open its palatial doors and bids him
welcome, although nothing is known
Of his past life or his character or
standing, while an honest, gentle
manly, mechanic, well-known at
home, with good character, is lgnor-
ed and given the cold shoulder.
All is not gold that glitters, end
fools are apt to get caught when
they bite at a naked hook.

FREEDOM OF OPINION.

We agree with that exchange
which said that "it is very dwarfed
and warped little soul that thinks less
OF a person because of an honest dit
ference Of opinion, and it shows the
very reverse of ability and culture
to condemn others for speaking their
sentiments, when the same rights
are freely practiced by ourselves. :"
But the world has full supply Of
men and women who assume that
they are always right, and that they
are entitled to the privilege of always
freely expressing their opinions and
of severely censuring those who dit
fer with them, but the moment they
are antagonized and the same treat
ment extended to them that they
habitually extend to others, they
suddenly become gneyously wronged,
shocked and perhaps insulted. There
is a narrow-minded sel6shness and
hypocrisy about such things that
cause an irresistible feeling of con-
tempt, if not disgust, to pervade the
whole being of a well balanced per-
son. A broad and we'll DEVELOPED
mind will always freely concede to
others what it claims for itself.

DIVORCES.

The Atlanta Constitution is mad
because twenty divorces were grant
ed in Fulton Superior Court in one
day, and compares Atlanta to Chica-
go. The Constitution, we trust, is
not opposed to granting divorce for
good cause? Suppose a man fails
to provide support tor his wife and
children, goes home drunk and beats
and curses his wife, making her life
one of misery and Indebtedness,
would the Constitution oppose the
law stepping in and severing the
matrimonial tie that bound the wo-
man to such a brute? We opine
not, and yet the Constitution is try
ing to create public sentiment
against granting divorces that will
operate and prejudice many such
cases that may come up in Fulton
Superior Court. The protection of
the law is needed in some divorce
cases as much so as in cases of rob
berry and assassination.

A girl eighteen years OF age was
placed on the witness stand in Chica-
60 a few days ago, and it was diScov-
cred that she could not speak word
Of English, although she was born
and reared in this country. She
could, however, converse Auently in
German or French. The growth of
socialism and anarchy in Chicago is
no doubt due to the fact that thou
sands Of children of foreign born pa
rents are growing up in ignorance
Of the English language, and are
taught to abhor instead of to learn
it. People who do not speak the
language of the country Of which
they are citizens cannot appreciate
its form Of government or have any
